Previsions of the Measure. Udder the bill as passed cash bonuses should be given only to th6se veterans entitled to less than $50 under the scale of adjusted service compensation providing for $1 per day of home service and $L28 per day of overseas service In excess of 00 days. Veterans who would be entitled to a greater sum have the option of four kinds of compensation--an adjusted service certificate, vocational training a^l, farm or home aid and land settlement aid. The chief feature of the bill is the adjusted service certificate which is the equivalent of a 20-year endowment insurance policy. As a substitute for die cash bonus It Is provided that veterans may borrow from banks lmuieditely up to 50 per cent of the original face value of the adjusted service certificates. Interest on these loans is limited to the federal reserve bank rediscount rate plus 2 per cent. If the veterans default on the loans the banks may collect the amount from the government at the end of three years.' Eneouragee 8avlngs Aooount, » Those veterans who retain their certificates for the fall 20 years' period will receive cash at the end of that time equal to about three times the original face value, the ultimate value representing an Increase of 25 per cent in the face value plus 4% per cent interest compounded annually. According to the estimates of Representative Fordney, chairman of the ways and means committee, the bonus under this plan win cost the government about $4,000,000,000. Copley Supports Bill# -V Representative Copley of Illinois, a Republican member of the ways and means committee, declared that an adjustment of compensation for the exservice men is a moral obligation resting on the country. Representative London of New York, Socialist, denounced the bill as "a hokus pocus. a proposition to pay the soldiers for the highest service any man can render--to fight for his country."

Commercial fertilisers act gufcckly and c«n be uaed to special advantage where It Is desired to mature crops in a short petiod of time. The best results csa be obtained by the use of fertiliser on land that is well filled with organic matter. Howaver, fair results may be obtained by tiie use of fertilizer on land that has not been manured and which Is deficient in organic matter, according to the United States Department of Apiculture. The great danger in the use of commercial fertilizers is that too large quantities mfiy be applied and cause injury to the plants. It must be borne In mind that commercial fertilizers are a very concentrated form of plant food and, therefore, should be used in moderation. Amount Nesdsdfn Garden, i ^ Market gardeners frequently use ¥# much as 2,000 pounds of commercial fertilizer on an acre of ground. This would be at the rate of about 4 or 5 pounds to a plot of ground 10 feet in each direction or 100 square feet. Assuming that the average backyard garden is about 30 by 60 feet In site, 50 to 70 pounds of standard, high-grade truckers' fertilizer would be all that would be safe to apply on a garden of those dimension!. Under most conditions 50 pounds will be the maximum amount to use. Commercial fertilizers are usually put up in sacks containing 100, 167 or 200 pounds, and a good iflan would be for two or more gardeners to Join together in buying fertilizer. Methods of Application. There are two or three methods of applying commercial fertilizers. The first and most common is by scattering the fertilizer broadcast over the land after It has been plowed and harrowed, then giving the soil a second and even a third harrowing to mix the fertilizer with It thoroughly. Another method is to apply the fertilizer underneath the rows, the plan being to open the furrows, scatter in the fertilizer, then, by means of a single-shovel plow or wheel hoe, thoroughly mix the fertilizer with the soil in the bottom of the furrow. The surface soil Is then returned and no seeds are planted for a few days until the fertilizer becomes thoroughly Incorporated with the soil. RICH, SANDY LOAM FOR BEETS Seed Should Be Sown About Time Last ^gfrasts Are Due; Ready Iter Ues in Pew Weeks. The thYrd method ot applying commercial fertilizers is to use them as a top or side dressing along the rows of plants during the period of growth. Nitrate of soda and fertilizer mixtures containing a considerable percentage of nitrogen are generally used for this purpose. When using fertilizer as a side dressing care should be taken that It Is not applied too near the base ot the plants, but at a llttTe distance from the row, and then it should be cultivated Into the upper 2 or 3 Inches of soil, so. that the small feeder roots ot plants will gradually reach It. Elements in Fertilizers, The three main elements of' plant food contained In commercial fertilizers are phosphoric acid, nitrogen, and potash. Nitrogen has the effect of stimulating the leaf growth, and phosphoric acid and potash have a tendency to Increase root growjh and to mature the seeds of the plants. Root crops and potatoes require a reasonable amount of potash. Garden beets may be grown in any good soil, but thrive best rich, sandy loam. The seed can be sown about the time the last frosts are due, and the young beets will be ready for use In 4 to 6 weeks. Later plantings will give a succession and provide beets for winter storage. The seed should be sown in < Young Beets Make Good Greens. a drill with about 8 or 10 seed balls to the foot. It should be borne In mind that each seed ball contains froi 1 to 6 seeds, and that the beets wl require considerable thinning. Tha young beets that are pulled out in thinning may be used as greens during the early spring. Where the beets are to be given hand cultivation entirely, the rows may be placed as closely as 12 to 14 Inches opart and the plants should be thinned tq 2 to 3 inches the row.--United States Department of Agriculture. PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF WATER When It la Needed Uae Sufficient Amount to Thoroughly Soak Seed or Plants in Boxes. An overaupply of moisture by the hose route will be of no especial benefit to growing vegetables or flowers, yet a sufficient supply Is necessary, to gain the best results. However, when you do give your vegetable^ and flowers a drink do not be stingy--give them all they want A generous supply of water, when needed. Is far better than a slight sprinkling, which would be of little or no value, if the soil in which the plants are growing is wry dry. A very good plan in watering vegetables or flowers, whether In boxes or In the outdoor seed bed. Is to have small trenches between each row, and through these trenches soak the ground until It does not seem to want any more--If it is very dry. That should be enough for two or three days in the driest aad warmest season. When the weathei is suliry aad the Jpound Is warm and Ay, abort tha first Inclination the small gardener has when he gets home after regular work and wants to do something to help his garden along Is to get out the hose and cut loose on the sweltering vegetation.
